reform electric remontoire clock movement

Here's some photos of the movement:

And here's the video:

I think it's a nice movement, not very rare indeed, but I've never seen it before. I want to make a new diy wooden enclosure, get new hands and a good dial and put together a clock for my room!

I think that this is the first time that I see an exhibition, albeit small, of typewriters here in Padua.

Fostex FD8 and solid state disks

Below there are some videos of the problem, I hope that someone can suggest me something to make the Fostex FD8 work with solid state disks (CF, SD or whatever).
This multitracker has also a SCSI-2 port so maybe I try to use an Acard IDE-SCSI bridge plus a IDE-CF adapter, but this is not cheap, those cards are pretty expensive: many times the ones shown here.

It's quite interesting to read old magazines and look for ads of so-called "outdated" products ^_^

some antares in a thrift shop

Returning back home I stopped at a thrift shop to see if there were any typewriters; not many, but a couple of Antares, one electric and one mechanical. I don't know the exact models shown below, but they seem quite cheaply built.
